Hundreds join black leaders at S.F. ‘kneel-in’ protest

In response to the nationwide protests in recent days following the death of an unarmed black man under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer, leaders of San Francisco’s black community joined city officials and actor Jamie Foxx for a “kneel-in” outside of City Hall.

Following a weekend of protesting and looting throughout the nation prompted by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, thousands showed up for Monday’s peaceful gathering, chanting “I can’t breathe” and carrying signs denouncing police violence.
